[UCI Study Spot] Lee’s Sandwiches

For those on the quarter system, week three is rolling away, and for some students, that means the start of midterms.
Whether you live on-campus or are a commuter, we all have our different study spots because of our study habits. For those with a laptop who want to get work done away from their room at a place where there is free wi-fi and access to food, a Starbucks or cafe sounds like the place to be at.
UCI students, Starbucks is not your only option—you can go study at the …
